Sep 6, 2009 Brewed in the USA... Courtesy of friend Woody Chandler !!! Pours a very dark brown color with a small dissipating beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, prunes and malts. Taste of dark malts, plums, soy sauce and bourbon flavors. Mouthfeel is medium in body, well balanced, dry and finishes with a slight alcohol warmth.

Sep 5, 2009 Bomber. Dark beer with great head. Drank at ~50 degrees rather than the recommended 40-45, which would probably subdue the hops a bit. Lots of hop bitterness and citrus on top of a malt body that includes some cocoa (de-bittered black) and is quite smooth. Blindfolded, I don’t know if I’d guess his were black, but I’d know it wasn’t pale.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottle shared by BA’s Woody Chandler. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a medium sized beige head. The nose had notes of citrus, toast, caramel, and pine. Tastes of toast, pineapple, and grapefruit zest. Not nearly as sweet as ST’s other big IPAs making it much more pleasing to my palate.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle at Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a dark, rich brown, almost black with little to no head. Aroma is roasted malts and hops. Notes of pine, citrus, chocolate, caramel, and a tiny bit of coffee come out. On the palate, it is a bit thick and dry. The flavor brings out the toasted malts and some strong hops, balancing the beer nicely. It finish bitter and dry. A very good beer.
